These Grilled Mussels with Lemon Butter are a simple yet flavorful dish that combines the smoky char from the grill with the richness of melted butter and a zesty lemon finish. Perfect as an appetizer or light main course, this dish is ready in no time!

Ingredients

(Serves 4 as an appetizer)

  • 2 pounds fresh mussels, cleaned and debearded
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a hint of heat)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Mussels

  • Rinse the mussels under cold water, discarding any that are cracked or remain open after tapping them.
  • Pat the mussels dry and set them aside.

2. Prepare the Lemon Butter Sauce

  • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Preheat the Grill

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C).

4. Grill the Mussels

  • Place the mussels directly on the grill grates or in a grill basket. Close the lid and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the mussels open up.
  • Discard any mussels that do not open.

5. Toss with Lemon Butter

  • Transfer the grilled mussels to a large bowl. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the mussels, tossing gently to coat.

6. Serve

  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
  • Pair with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce or serve as is for a lighter dish.

Tips

  • Cleaning Mussels: Soak the mussels in cold water for 20 minutes before cooking to remove any sand or grit. Scrub the shells if needed.
  • Flavor Variations: Add a splash of white wine to the lemon butter sauce for extra depth of flavor.
  • Cooking Method: If you don’t have a grill, steam the mussels in a large pot or grill pan with a lid over medium heat.

These Grilled Mussels with Lemon Butter are quick, easy, and packed with smoky, buttery, and citrusy flavors that will impress any seafood lover. 🦪🍋🔥
